Last week I started working at Coatue Capital, per Redfield family tradition I took a picture on my first day. Work has been really fun, but really tiring too! Paige has been at me to post a photo since I took it 12 days ago, so here it is. She doesn't seem to realize that not everyone gets to work only 3 days a week...While Coatue's main office is located in NYC, as a code monkey I have been relegated to the New Jersey office. I wake up, get ready, walk to Penn Station to catch the 7:27 express to MetroPark where I am close enough to my building that I can walk there too. That's right, I don't have to have a car! The weather has been really beautiful so the walks have been nice. My co-workers are all pretty awesome too and have been wonderful at making me feel comfortable in a new place. It's nice to feel like a "big girl" getting all dressed up everyday, taking the train, coding and seeing the improvements my changes make, making decisions about health care and 401k's, etc. However, as I type this Sheldon is wiping my face with a wet napkin because I've somehow managed to get watermelon and tomato sauce on my forehead while eating dinner tonight. Oops, some things never change, just like the need to take a first day of "school" picture.
